Summary of The Lost Goddess Summary of The Lost Goddess Reviews for The Lost Goddess An Excerpt from The Lost Goddess
"A globetrotting adventure with shades of Dan Brown and Indiana Jones." —Suspense Magazine
In the silent caves of deepest France, young archaeologist Julia Kerrigan unearths an ancient skull with a hole bored through the forehead. Shortly after, her mentor is brutally murdered—by a seemingly supernatural killer. Meanwhile, in the jungle of Southeast Asia, photographer Jake Thirby undertakes a mysterious assignment for a beautiful Cambodian lawyer who is investigating mysterious findings at the two-thousand-year-old Plain of Jars.
Linking the two is a strange, demonic woman—dazzling in her physical prowess and unstoppable in her hunger for vengeance. A seductive blend of global adventure, gothic horror, and ripped-from-the-headlines science, The Lost Goddess is an edge-of-your-seat thriller with shocking revelations on the history of human violence and guilt.

Wealth of Wiltshire talent on view
7:00am Wednesday 18th December 2013 in News
Children queued to have their photos taken with reindeer as Trowbridge people embraced the festive spirit at the Wealth of Wiltshire Christmas Fayre.
There were 30 stalls with locally-produced gifts, such as cakes, paintings and jewellery.
Wiltshire Council hosted the event at County Hall, in aid of the A Legacy of Wiltshire programme, last Friday.
Linnet Tomes, marketing officer for Wiltshire council, said: "It's gone really well, having stepped it up to be even more festive than last year.
"The stalls are run by small businesses, with gifts you wouldn't find on the high street."
Among traders at last Thursday's fayre were woodturner Bob Hoy from Melksham, Jo Dewhirst of Warminster and Emma Coffield of Holt.

Zac Posen - New York Fall 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Zac will be Zac, and chez Posen, chic decidedly goes on. Last night's spectacle at the Tents catered to young Hollywood at its best, offering a dress-heavy collection tinged with Victoriana. The sleeve--and more specifically, the shoulder--served as Posen's focal point, and day dresses and evening gowns benefitted from that no-nonsense attitude. A smattering of gold gowns, most memorably the bias-cut lame example on Magdalena--would serve Jolie and Winslet well this Sunday, while an ice-blue silk gown on Yulia reminded the starry front row of the 1940s-era glamour that 2009's red carpets sorely lack.

The Marshall Bantam A hockey team got a special visit from NHL player Jason Blake of the Anaheim Ducks last week during a team practice. Blake, who is originally from Bemidji, came to the Marshall area for pheasant hunting. An NHL All-Star in the 2006-07 season, Blake signed autographs and posed for pictures while attending the Marshall Bantam A team practice.
The Marshall Bantam A team also had a game last week, opening up the season against Willmar on Friday night in a 3-2 loss.
It was a physical game, as Marshall center Jake Buysse sustained a concussion in his second shift of the season.

"The coaches wanted us to come out physical in the offensive zone and set the tone of the game," said Marshall wing Jackson Luther.
Marshall found itself down 2-0 in the second period when Blake VanKeulen put home the Tigers' first goal on an assist from Matt VanKeulen. Marshall tied the game later on with Clay Stevens scoring the equalizer on an assist from Mitchel Ellingson.
Willmar earned the game-winning goal on a penalty shot against Marshall goalie Sam Kontz in the third frame.

Scene I: A devoutly Christian couple is sorting bills on the kitchen table, the husband picks up the invoice for their two children's private school tuition. He lets it drop into the pile, remarking, "We'd be able to afford a vacation this year if they hadn't taken God out of the public schools."
Scene II: Opening the final session of the U.S. Supreme Court, June 21, 1962, Solicitor General Archibald Cox addresses Chief Justice Warren, noting that this is Justice Hugo Black's 25th term on the court, to which the chief responds warmly. The light on the dais illuminates the Alabamian's slim face, smiling broadly.
After the brief ceremony, the Clay County native, raised in a rural Baptist tradition and who had taught adult Bible classes in Birmingham and Washington, read his decision for a 6-1 majority court in Engle v. Vitale, which bans government from imposing its version of prayer on public schools.
Specifically, the opinion ruled that a prayer devised by the New York Board of Regents (a prayer so bland as to be meaningless) was the only "official" prayer to be recited by students.
As soon as newspapers hit the street with headlines such as "Court Bans Prayer In School," a storm broke and its echoes are still heard as the nation prepares for another school year.
Even at this late date, it would be helpful to know what the former Sunday school teacher's opinion did and did not do. It simply prohibited government from writing and imposing its own prayers on people.
The clause in the First Amendment that prevents government from "establishing" religion, he wrote, means "that in this country it is no part of the business of government to compose official prayers for any group of the American people as part of a religious program carried on by government."
The opinion then moved quickly to cite how governments abroad and at home have straitjacketed freedom of religion. The Book of Common Prayer was approved by Acts of Parliament in the 15th and 16th centuries, establishing the tax-supported Church of England.
Other faiths, Judge Black wrote, "decided to leave England and its established church and seek freedom in America from England's governmentally ordained and supported religion."
Once here, the same people who fled the established Church of England, in obedience to man's innate desire to enforce conformity, set about erecting its own governmental religions, a collection of theocracies.
Justice Black's historical research, as late as the time of the Revolution, counted established churches in at least eight of the 13 original colonies and established religions in four of the other five.
After the Revolution, however, opposition grew to the practice of establishing religion by law. Minority religious groups such as Presbyterians, Lutherans, Quakers and Baptists grew in such numbers that it made the established Episcopal Church a minority itself.
The political climate was right, Black reasoned, in 1785-86 for the leadership of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to enact the Virginia Bill for Religious Liberties under which all faiths were on equal footing.
As if Judge Black was writing today about the pit of snakes that is the Middle East, he wrote:
"The purposes underlying the Establishment Clause go much further … Its first and foremost immediate purpose rested on the belief that a union of government and religion tends to destroy government and to degrade religion."
The Sunnis and Shiites who are bombing each other in Iraq and the scrum-to-death horror of Syria's Alawites, Christians, Sunnis, al-Qaida, etc., owe their bitter conflict to a desperate desire to form a union of government with their unique sect of Islam.
Re-reading Judge Black's opinion in light of today's realities is a lesson in the folly of man and his desire to stand at the top of the hill and shout to those below, "Follow me, I and I alone know the way…"
It is presumptuously beyond the power of a Supreme Court or a legislative demand for a "prayer in school amendment" to remove God from school or to put him there, if he is not in the heart of people who study there.

My mom was sold on coach Gary Barnett. And that meant she was sold on Northwestern.
Can you blame her? A free ride to an education along the shores of Lake Michigan? That's what mothers want when their sons are being recruited to play football.
Barnett told my parents and I that he would take the Wildcats to Pasadena during my official visit to Evanston in 1994. They were close. The program was growing. The losing would end. And the Rose Bowl was next.
Sure, Gary. Of course you will.
But I had different plans, different goals as a high school quarterback at Glenbard West. And my parents supported that decision.
I wanted to be a Hawkeye.
From the minute I stepped on campus at Iowa, I knew it was the place for me. Wear the black and gold, play in Kinnick Stadium and become part of the culture, the tradition in Iowa City.
A pure college town. A new home. And a new adventure.
I canceled the rest of my visits in the Big Ten and committed to coach Hayden Fry when he came to our house in a pair of cowboy boots that had Rose Bowl emblems stitched into the leather.
Sure, the recruiting game has changed for the Chicago-area high school seniors who will sign their letters of intent Wednesday. Cellphones, text messaging, Facebook and Twitter have altered the process since I went through it.
However, assistant coaches from big programs still pop up in the high school hallways or hang out in the physical education department trying to grab five minutes to sell their universities.
Iowa assistant Bobby Elliott even asked my date to prom for me. Why? Because he told me he could close deals. All part of the recruiting game.
So Elliott came to Glenbard West with white roses, a Big Ten championship ring and a request to pull a young lady out of class to pop the prom proposal during sixth period on a Tuesday.
She said yes — right there in the hallway.
I didn't have the high school news conference or sit at a table with multiple hats to make my decision in front of the student body or the guys down the street from Busy Bee barber shop on Main Street.
Instead, I signed mine at 8:03 a.m. at my parent's dining room table.
The same table I ate dinner at last Christmas when the family got together.
After I talked to Fry and Elliott on the phone, it was off to another day of high school and basketball practice.
But I dreamed big that day. Real big.
I want these kids signing on the dotted line Wednesday to do the same.

This might sound crazy, but what if Zues and AG switched positions on offense? Meaning, what if we played Gordon in the interior and zues in the mid-range area. I know it sounds rediculous, but:
Aaron is a beast inside and playing the center role would keep him comfortable to excel at what he's really good at, which is dunks, layins, offensive rebounds.
zues has a chance to be a great face up player, even though he's predominantly played as a back to the basket center. I believe if zues plays the 4, where he extends to the mid range area, he'll have significant success making high low passes, hitting the freethrow in shot, and allow our offense the needed spacing it desperately needs right now.
I caveat this theory, based on how well zues shoots freethrows,

Fresh signs suggest better economy if 'cliff' can be averted
WASHINGTON — Fresh signs of a strengthening U.S. economy on Friday suggested that if Congress and the White House can avert the "fiscal cliff," the economic recovery might finally accelerate in 2013.
Consumers spent and earned more in November. And for a second straight month, U.S. companies increased their orders for a category of manufactured goods that reflects investment plans.

From December 4, 2005, through February 4, 2006, local ABC-TV stations will be showing -- at their discretion -- Shadow Voices: Finding Hope in Mental Illness, a one-hour documentary about stigma, spirituality, and recovery that features interviews with several NAMI consumers and family leaders.
Local stations will decide for themselves whether and when to broadcast the documentary. Local broadcast dates are listed on the Shadow Voices Web site, along with a list of the "voices" included in the documentary and excerpts from their interviews.
If your ABC station is not listed, please contact the station manager or programming director through the ABC network Web site to encourage them to air Shadow Voices, an ABC "Vision and Values" documentary produced by the National Council of Churches, before the February 4 deadline. Let stations know that people in your community are eager to see the documentary. Offer to help publicize the broadcast date through local NAMIs, churches, or other networks.
It is also important to thank stations already on the list, even those stations that have scheduled the documentary to air after midnight or before dawn. Expressions of community support for even marginal time slots will help influence later programming decisions involving mental illness topics. Let stations know that people are eager to see the film.
Copies of the documentary will also be available after December 15, 2005, in VHS ($19.95) or DVD ($24.95) format, plus shipping and handling. Call Mennonite Media at 1-800/999-3534 for more information.
A recent National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) study has suggested that "new generation" antipsychotic medications are no more effective than older medications in treating schizophrenia, raising concerns that the study will be used to restrict open access to newer medications under Medicaid or managed care.
NAMI wants to hear from consumers or family members describing the difference that newer medications have made in their lives. Please send your short, personal story to email@example.com, including your name, age, city and state, telephone number, diagnosis, treatment history, and relevant details.
NAMI will consider all stories for use in testimony, media interviews, or other advocacy efforts. All submissions remain confidential. They will not be used without further contact and direct authorization.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A strong effort from this well-run estate, the 2007 Fleur Cardinale may turn out to be as good as the 2009, which is a slightly more ruggedly constructed and bigger wine, but not necessarily better. The 2007 is a mid-weight blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Beautifully elegant, noble, racy. A blend of 77% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Attractive berry, sweet tobacco and olive aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky, tight tannins and a long, refined finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a quintessentially elegant Margaux, with a dense ruby/purple color and notes of charcoal, cassis, a hint of smoking embers, and a subtle touch of spring flower garden. Dense on the palate with medium to full-bodied flavors, superb concentration, and moderate tannin, this wine requires..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A brilliant effort from well-known oenologists Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2009 Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc included in the blend. It reveals textbook notes of mocha, tobacco leaf, blackberries, black cherries, roasted coffee and wood smoke. Full-bodied and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A new acquisition by Christian Moeuix of Pétrus, nearly 10 acres close to the church in the heart of Pomerol. It is a soft wine, more about ripe, rich Merlot, very generous, the black fruit a burst of liveliness."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The most powerful, finest overall wine made at this estate since their 1982, the muscular 2009 reveals a dense ruby/purple color in addition to meaty, smoky notes of black cherries, iron, truffles, loamy soil, and spice. Dense, full-bodied, and virile with a boatload of tannin ... It should last..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Under the administration of Catherine Pere-Verge, Le Gay has become a serious, super-concentrated, potentially long-lived Pomerol. The backward 2006 reveals complex notes of plums, black cherries, truffles, and chocolate in a big, masculine, full-bodied, virile style that begs for cellaring. This..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This masculine-styled Pomerol exhibits notes of iron, earth, vitamins, black cherries, and blackberries. It is reminiscent of a Trotanoy in terms of personality and appellation character. Full-bodied and super-dense with a boatload of tannin as well as unbridled power, richness, and depth ...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A dark ruby (but not opaque) color is followed by aromas of sweet raspberries and black currants with dusty, earthy, loamy soil notes in the background."

Very satisfied – I was very satisfied with my visit to this office. Everyone was very nice. Thank you.
My dentist is excellent. He really cares about the patient.
Great experience – Theresa, the dental hygienist was very gentle and explained everything including cost. I did not want injected into the gum unless it was necessary or painful. She swabbed the gum with local anesthetic and waited. She did do antibiotic treatments into pockets and it went great. She is very nice and talks you through everything. I didn't feel rushed and felt that if I had needed injections she would have stopped and waited. Going to the dentist has never been a pleasant experience and have always had teeth and gum problems. Thank you very much Theresa for a "pleasant" experience at a dentist's office.
Very friendly – Everyone on this office is always very friendly!
Excelent – The Dr that took care of my root canal was great. I've always suffered from pain, even with Novocain. The Dentist explained that it's probably because previous dentists did not find the correct pocket/placement for the Novocain. This Dentist took his time to find the correct pocket and I didn't experience any pain with the root canal!
Poor customer service – My family & I have been going to Castle Dental in Franklin for 6 years. I called to schedule appointments & was told that x-rays & cleanings could not be done the same day??? What?? I don't have time for this. I am a mother of 3 kids whose husband is out of town a lot. I get 10 hours a week where all 3 kids are in school at the same time & don't want to use that precious time going to the dentist multiple times.
Took my son in for x-rays, we were there for 2 hours.
Went tonight for my x-rays & son's cleaning. He got finished with his cleaning before I was even called back for x-rays. My appointment was for 5:40. I told them I needed to pick my twins up at 6:30 & was told that I wouldn't be done by then???? For x-rays??? Really??
My husband went for a check-up a couple weeks ago & too was told he needed deep cleaning for gum disease. Glad I found this website to see other complaints. I don't like going to the dentist because I've been scammed before, it's a big racket in my opinion.
SCAM – We have been clients of Castle Dental in Franklin, Tn. for more than 10 years. Until 6 months ago when the first of my 2 daughters had her regular scheduled 6 month cleaning. She is 24 and has flawless teeth and gums. She was told she had periodontal disease and would need deep cleaning. To make this long story short. My 2 daughters & my wife were all diagnosed with periodontal disease. I immediately read into this as a scam, and a corporate maneuver to spike numbers.
I in a matter of a few weeks afterward had my regular 6 month cleaning scheduled. When I arrived at the office the morning of my appointment I KNEW before I walked in the doors that I too would be diagnosed with the same. When I was seen, as you could guess, I was correct in my assumption. Politely I took it straight to the hygienist, the dentist and an assistant, and told them of my friends, family and acquaintances that have been given the same diagnosis. It seems if you are 18 or over and walk in the doors of Castle Dental, you should expect to be told you have PD.
Additionally, soon after my first daughter was diagnosed some friends told me of a radio ad they responded to for a $39.00 exam. When they visited Castle Dental they too were told their Child had PD. Castle refused to clean her teeth until she had the deep cleaning procedure. This was the first incident involving someone outside my family that had been diagnosed with PD. This confirmed my skepticism. Oh and by the way, a second opinion revealed no PD.
Now. Here lies the actual issue with this. We are insured, but insurance does not label this a necessary procedure and will not cover the procedure in its entirety. The deep cleaning procedure for all 4 quadrants costs about $498.00 after the co pay. Castle dental will not clean your teeth without this procedure. If you don't have insurance to cover a co pay the amount will be over $1000.00. We are not given an option not to have the procedure. Our option is… find another Dentist if want your teeth cleaned. I think what we have here is what I call a Patient / client transfusion. Castle Dental is trying to extract money out of all of us; if we refuse to pay for this questionable procedure we don't get service forcing us to find another Dentist. This makes room for new clients/patients for Castle to scam. My suggestion to anyone who reads this and finds themselves in a similar situation, kindly remind Castle Dental to expect a visit from Date Line NBC.
FRAUD!!!! – Went for regular exam and cleaning bc insurance switch to HMO always had great dental history so thought nothing of switching well I was terribly wrong. They tried to tell me I need a deep cleaning because I had beginning stages of peridontal disease. I was shocked I never even had a cavity so I went back to my regular dentist and paid cash for a routine cleaning (something castle dental refused to do) and she(my regular dentist) was floored that I was told this by the previous dentists. She said my gums and teeth were great and then proceeded to tell me the cleaning they wanted to give me allows them to charge get $1200 from the insurance. It also would have caused major damage to my gums if they had of performed this extensive cleaning. They also tried to have my 7 year old daughter get 8 sealants put on her teeth. This would have allowed another $1000 insurance claim for them. All of which my regular dentist said she did NOT need. STAY AWAY from this dentist!!!!

Pretty clay pots: Make your own
As I browsed through the myriad garden catalogs piling up on the horizontal filing cabinet that doubles as my dining room table, looking for interesting new plants and products, the exorbitant price of some new planters really made an impression. A shabby-chic whitewashed terra-cotta pot -- just 6 inches in diameter -- was being peddled for $68. A "handcrafted" painted number (admittedly very pretty) was going for $89. So this puts me in an awkward position: I don't want to spend that much for glorified terra-cotta, but I don't want to settle for ho-hum clay pots, either. What's more, I certainly don't have time to painstakingly handcraft anything, and I'm guessing you don't, either. But Natalie over at natalme.com showed me that I can save a bunch of money and make some real lookers in less than the time it would take to drive to the garden center or boot up my computer for an online shopping spree. Here are my favorites. --JESSICA DAMIANO, email@example.com

Jason Garrett
Dallas Cowboys
Largely a backup for his entire career, Jason Garrett enjoyed his career highlight in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day 1994. Garrett led the Cowboys to a come-from-behind victory over the Packers, finishing with 311 passing yards and two touchdowns. When he was named the interim head coach of the Cowboys on Nov. 8, 2010, Garrett piloted a similarly shocking upset: a 33-20 victory over the favored New York Giants at the Meadowlands. In January 2011, he was officially named head coach of the Cowboys. What other current NFL head coaches spent their younger days on the gridiron? SI.com takes a look.

It is often incorrectly called trisomy 17 (also referred to as full trisomy 17), which is when three copies of chromosome 17 are present in all cells of the body. Full trisomy 17 has never been reported in a living individual in the medical literature.[1] Few cases of trisomy 17 mosaicism have been described, most having been detected during pregnancy through a test called amniocentesis.[2] Only a few individuals have had a confirmed diagnosis of trisomy 17 mosaicism after birth. Because the proportion and location of cells with trisomy 17 differs from case to case, the presence and severity of signs and symptoms may vary significantly from person to person.Trisomy 17 mosaicism is a chromosomal abnormality in which there are three copies of

Menston residents take to street for protest over greenbelt
2:20pm Thursday 12th December 2013 in News By Staff Reporter
Protesters visited Bradford's City Hall in their hundreds this week to hand in petitions on two thorny issues – cuts to youth services and housebuilding on the district's greenbelt.
Both matters were discussed at a heated meeting of the full Bradford Council.
Before the meeting, two separate public demonstrations were held on opposite sides of the building.
On the Hall Ings side were people fighting the loss of green belt land as part of the Council's Local Plan – a blueprint which sets out where homes and jobs will go between now and 2030.
And in Centenary Square, students and trade unions protested against proposed cuts to the council's youth service.
In the meeting councillors spoke about the positive effect the youth service had had on their own lives.
Councillor Jackie Whiteley (Con, Wharfedale), said: "It's my birthday today and at my age I think I can allow myself a moment to reflect on my life and the important influences and opportunities that have led to me to be the person I am today.
"Who would have thought Jackie Longfield, who was a foster child until she left home, would end up in this venerable place?
"One of the most important influences on me was my local Youth Club where I socialised and learnt how to deal with the opposite sex. I even played sport.
"We also went on organised outings, sometimes to the theatre, we didn't do that at home and the youth club filled a very important gap for me. Arguably, it got me through my adolescence.
" I am sure that the Youth Service today provides all of this and much more.
"This is a well-used and valued service and you have asked the people of Bradford where money should be spent and saved. I think you have your answer if 15,000 people have signed a petition on this subject."
The petition was accepted as part of the public consultation.
The Council's Local Plan also provoked heated debate.
Councillors were discussing whether to proceed with its Core Strategy, which does not yet earmark specific sites for development but sets out the overall aims and the number of homes to be built.
A leading campaigner against green belt housing development in Wharfedale called on Bradford Council to 'stop giving the fox the keys to the hen house' as he handed over a 2,000-plus signature petition.
Menston Action Group's Dr Steve Ellams, spoke on behalf of several groups and communities in the Wharfe and Aire valleys.
He told the Council to stop the 'rape of the countryside' in the Bradford District and spoke out against 'money-grabbing developers' in his plea.
But Councillor Val Slater (Lab), executive member for planning, said the district needed a Local Plan because without one, developers would be free to build where they liked.
She said: "There just aren't enough brownfield sites to meet the projected need."
The Labour group won the vote and the plan will now go out for a further consultation.

Put all life's major decisions on hold, kids etc, because I wanted
tobe a bit more financially secure before I started a family. That was the plan anyway.
I would never have guessed that the sensible would be punished, and the feckless rewarded.
The national average age of a FTB is 40 years old.
Again like millions of others, my age and younger, I've been forced to waste tens upon tens of thousands in rent payments.Paying for anothers mortgage and retirement.Yet people just two to three years older than I, in the same job, on the same wage, who just happened to
get onto the ladder, pre 1997. Pre Boom. Pre New Labour..
Are sitting on assets they paid £70k for, which are now 'worth'
£300k. They havent worked for this profit. Its pure manufactured
speculation.They paid off their mortgage years ago, and it was never an excessive percentage of their wage.
They can afford kids, holidays, cars, pensions etc. They have a
These are the NIMBYS I Detest
Whereas thenational average monthly rent in the UK is now a
staggering£750 pcm. And the people who dont 'own' property, the rentiers, are the very people having their wealth stolen to bail out banks, like Lloyds, who won over 33% of the UK's mortgage book, thus supporting massively overinflated house prices, paying to keep other peoples houses at their massively overinflated levels.
The average house price TRIPLED between 1997 to 2007.
Over that same decade council tax doubled, food , gas, and other staples rose astronomically, whilst the median uk wage rose by a piddling £6.5k
Government policy is to rob Peter to pay Paul, and Paul gets upset, when someone wants build in his neighbourhood?
The most notable characteristic of a fascist ideology is the
seperation and persecution of one section of a society over another.
The 'preferred class lives in relative comfort whilst the oppressed
class lives in a fascist state.
These NIMBYS dont want to see the massively overinflated fake value of their houses drop, yet, they are happy for the rest of us to live in abject poverty, misery and slavery, having our wealth stolen to pay to keep their houses at their massively overinflated valuations.
Yet, a cornerstone of democracy is the ability to work for something you can call your own.
Thats what the NIMBYS were able to do.
Lets see a 70% reduction on homes in Ilkley then.
Lets see the average house price return to their long temr median affordability as a proportion of income, 3x individual salary.
Ehy not? So you can say your pile of brcks is worth £500k instead of the £200k its actually worth?
What good does it do you, if youre only going to have to buy another, when you sell it, or will it to your children, who will pay vast taxes on it?
How many of these NIMBYS would be happy giving us the same opportunities they had?
They really dont get it do they?

Through these blocks of color, land planners could overlay the region's network of public hiking trails and roads and see how they interface with the underlying ownership structure. Maybe, they'd be able to identify areas of concern, where public access might be at risk if steps were not taken to broach the delicate matter of public access with private property owners.
It seems natural that such a map should exist. But with so many different entities at play, and so much research to be done to determine which of the county's hundreds of roads and trails should even fall into the category of public access, who would take on such an enormous project?
The answer came in the form of the Public Access Group of Ouray County (PAG), a diverse group of stakeholders in Ouray County that has been quietly gathering since 2008 to pioneer a model process for determining and preserving public access on the county's historic roads and trails.
After years of hard work, research and collaboration, the group unveiled to the public its pièce de résistance, the Ouray County Public Access Group (PAG) Route Map, last Wednesday, May 23 at the Ouray County 4-H Event Center in Ridgway.
The map, considered a living document that will always be in draft form, represents the culmination of years of collaboration among local government entities, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and special interest groups to ensure continued noncontroversial access to historical public lands roads and trails in Ouray County.
"Public access is a big issue around the entire nation," said Kate McIntire, the third PAG coordinator to work with the group since it formed, and the one who has been charged with ushering the project across the finish line. "It's a huge challenge to land managers; we've been successful because we've tackled it through a collaborative approach."
PAG hopes to pre-empt potentially costly conflicts with private property owners who may wish to block public access when these roads and trails pass through their land.
Using a formal evaluation methodology, the PAG developed a priority route list, identifying routes that are most at risk of losing public access due to potential conflicts with private property owners. The priority routes were announced at Wednesday's presentation. They are all in the Ironton Park vicinity, and include:
• Silverton Railroad Grade
• County Road 20A/Corkscrew Road and vicinity
• County Road 31 and vicinity
• Spirit Gulch/Barstow/Greyhound Road
• County Road 20/Brown Mountain
The PAG has divided into subgroups to gather more information on these routes and identify tools that may be used to preserve access.
The first, most important step, is to initiate dialogue with landowners. "An initial, formalized dialogue should reveal whether or not a landowner is willing to consider granting a public easement," McIntire noted. If not, PAG has identified other legal tools the county can use to claim public access.
These tools include R.S. 2477 (a federal revised statute in effect until 1976 whose purpose was to promote access, development and settlement to otherwise remote areas of the United States), adverse use (asserting that a road across private lands has been used adversely for 20 years) and condemnation – which is considered a last resort.
An important step in the PAG's early development, noted McIntire, was to suggest that a local government jurisdiction draft a resolution that addresses public access issues. Toward this end, as a member of PAG, Ouray County drafted a resolution in 2008 that defined the County's position on public roads within the County.
The resolution claims all public highways (including roads and trails) are open to the public unless they have been specifically abandoned by the county. "It helps to mitigate public access issues in the future and clarifies the county's position," McIntire noted.
With this resolution in place, the PAG then spent the better part of two years in information-gathering mode, in order to create a detailed map of all the trail systems that is accurate according to all groups. Often, gathering this information meant delving deep into the county's historical records, and converting them into an electronic format. "The Ouray County GIS department then compiled and mapped the data the PAG members had collected, accurately mapping all parcels in the county so the PAG had a reliable way to determine ownership as it related to existing and potential routes," McIntire said.
McIntire hopes the county will now adopt the PAG map to go with its resolution.
But, she and the PAG stakeholders stressed, the map itself, and the PAG, do not have authority to force issues of public access. They are merely advisory and informatory in nature. For example, a trail that passes through USFS land would still have to go through the Forest Service's own travel management plan process in order to change its use. The group doesn't have the authority to overrule that process.
"Once it is determined who has authority over a route, PAG serves as a research body and then can come forward with a recommendation," McIntire explained.
The group's work has been sustained by a grant from the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife. The creation of the map, and its presentation to the community, were two of the grant's deliverables. The grant was administered by Ouray County.
The collaborative nature of the group, and its commitment to consensus-driven decision making, were two things that made it so unique and, McIntire argued, so successful. She has used this model as subject of her capstone project at the School of Public Affairs at CU Denver, where she recently earned a master's degree in public administration with a concentration in environmental policy, management and law.
"I'm hoping this model will spread far and wide," she said.
PAG members themselves also valued the collaborative approach.
"I'm really appreciative of Ouray County for taking the lead on this issue," said USFS ranger Tammy Randall-Parker. "A lot of the roads and trails are truly multi-jurisdictional, and they also cover old mining claims, etc. If there are times when we come across gates on public roads and trails that private property owners have put up, this group can come together and with our collective tools and negotiation, we might be more successful than one entity."
The process model, draft map, and other PAG documents can be downloaded and viewed online at http://ouraycountyco.gov/pag.html. PAG is currently soliciting public comments on the draft map it has just released. The comment period lasts through June 8. At that time the group will come back together, sift through the comments, and figure out how to move forward to the next step of the process, which may include more active outreach to private property owners.
PAG meetings are open to the public. The next one is scheduled for June 13 at the Ouray County Land Use building.
